UK not gone to the dogs but I did enjoy Cyprus and could have lived there. However, I think I'll stay here, they drive on the correct side of the road and speak my language. Can't be arsed to learn something new

No really, good ideas would be:

South of France, Italy, Gibraltar, certain med islands, and certain islands in the pacific or off Hong Kong.

I think Canada. Never been but appears to be a beautiful place. Always wanted to go there but am very happy here. A visit would be good.

I've heard incredibly bad reports on Gibraltar.

Home of some of the dumbest people on the planet apparently.... very racist..... hmmm oh the irony lol !

I'd try France I reckon, may go to Malaysia this year to check out possibilities there.

Yeah, was gonna say, you'd have to be waterproof to live on this lovely island of Ireland lol (either that or a complete fruitloop, both helps!)

If we were millionaire's - Rhodes - I love Greece.

If I could speak the language and live with the attitude - France.

When we decided we were ready to do something different - it was France or Oz though.

Our first choice was England, but we didn't qualify for a visa so decided on Australia. We're now thinking that once our kids are all nicely settled in uni we would give Germany a try for a few years before deciding whether to come back here to go back to Canada.
